✨ literki β€” bestie's fave on-screen keyboard πŸ’–

okay so real talk, literki is the on-screen keyboard that ATE. no cap. it's giving main character energy for your touch screen and it's about to be your new obsession 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

literki [configuration_file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. optionally hand it a config file and it'll do its thing πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so like, literki is an on-screen keyboard with a configurable layout and configurable transparency. it's literally designed for touch screen devices, and it comes with a full qwerty keyboard plus always-on functionality by usage of transparency. iconic behavior, honestly πŸ‘‘

the way this works is so smart: applications do not need to redraw windows when literki is shown, and popping up the keyboard is very fast because literki is always in the background. it's just... lurking. waiting. ready. ✨

and that's not even all of it β€” in addition to the keyboard, literki comes with touchpad and scroll buttons. multitasking queen fr fr πŸ’…

  • configuration_file β€” an alternative configuration file to use instead of the default. like, if you wanna do your own thing, go off bestie 🌈
